Dr. Kenway Louie is a guest on WPR’s Joy Cardin Show

Dr. Kenway Louie, Ph.D., Research Assistant Professor of Neural Science at NYU’s Center for Neural Science (CNS), was interviewed by Wisconsin Public Radio (an NPR affiliate) on the Joy Cardin Show about the research he and his colleagues at CNS are conducting on how humans make decisions when we’re faced with lots of choices. This research, which IISDM Director, Professor Paul Glimcher, is also involved in, was recently highlighted by Quanta Magazine. Professor Kenway’s interview sheds new light on how our brains decode information to make decisions and why we can be easily overwhelmed and make mistakes. Listen to the interview here.

The Institute for the Study of Decision Making (ISDM) was formed to bring together different scientific disciplines—including neuroscience, economics, psychology, and urban informatics—to tackle the next generation of human behavior research challenges and translate that research into improved public policy.
